This is what I don't get about Hockey


The Washington Capitals go into overtime and 35 seconds in, there is a stoppage and their best player Overchkin then goes off to the bench. He just had a 20 minute intermission break and needs to go off after 35 seconds? Line change. Last year they lost games against Pittsburgh in the playoffs when their best players were on the bench.

Hockey is the one sport where your best players have a minimal impact on the outcome of the game. They play 15-18 minutes out of 60.
